Should I put a pause button on my CP?
subzero23:
The theme of my machine is like a multi-cade where people (pretending it's a public place but just in my gameroom really) could walk upto it and choose a game from a menu, start a game, insert a coin and play... but should they be able to pause? Or should *I* be able to pause? I was thinking this, on my 4 player CP (which also has a ms pacman joystick), at the top I'd have three system buttons
Green-Yellow-Red
and on the instruction card denote green as "Enter game" Yellow as "Pause game" and Red as "Exit game"
which is cool cuz it's like a traffic light and works well imo.

I wouldn't put a button specifically for pause, but I would make it an easy to perform (but not so easy as to happen all the time by accident) button comb.

I am putting a pause button in my design since you never know when that cellphone might ring. That was never a problem back when I was in the arcade in 1981 even though I got a pager in 1985 (a very annoying addition). Plus, if the doorbell rings when I am having a high score game, I would hate to think I would ignore my friends.

I wouldn't put it on the cp, mine are on the side. next to the the right pinball flipper button. If you have an overhang on your cp you could put it on the bottom.

I have a pause button but it isn't on the control panel. It is above the control panel.
